Like this, but with some raptor styling(insert Chris Pratt "that thing's part raptor" here):

Im thinking this look with the offroad mercedes front

Well, they tore my trees down. Guess I won’t be hanging out in JP anymore!



AK is my only hope now.

Sounds like a Star Wars sequel.....Yes, JP has been totally uglified. Best to just walk real fast through it until it gets renewed in 2 years. Right now it's just a total mess. They've managed to mess up areas where the coaster isn't even going.

Come over to my house, I can offer 40 footers....
I share your pain

JP is being transformed into the Star Wars desert planet Tatooine.

JP is being transformed into the Star Wars desert planet Tatoone.

No no no... new trilogy, it's Jakku.

In one of Tim Tracker's latest videos, he walks through the land, and points out how easily you can now see the outside portion of the Forbidden Journey queue from the main walkway in Jurassic Park. Any idea what the rationale is for thinning out so much foliage in that particular area? Coaster's not going over there.

Funny how so many cheered for the destruction of dueling dragons , just to have Universal destroy one of their most beautiful areas to build another giant coaster....

I have a feeling a certain niche of people will never forgive UOR for this one.

On another note I saw the Second Jurassic World last weekend and hated it. Sad to see an inferior spin off IP take over a classic...just my opinion.

 

[Mike S]

No no no... new trilogy, it's Jakku.

Or the new one in RoS.

Yes, it’s not Jakku or Tattooine.

Really.

I believe a new locker area is going all the way back here for FJ. With new rockwork to help block from JP.

But the midway skill games are going kinda between the former ponds and FJ greenhouse. That should help block the view. And new trees will be planted, but only after they tear up everything and pave over the ponds.

Nope. IOA needs thrills. Let FW be the family park, please.

I’m in agreement. I think IOA needs to remain the “thrill” park....not sure how FW will turn out...but I’ve already expressed my concerns with opening a family focused park in this day and age and so close to Magic Kingdom. We shall see though.

We'll have to see. I want to believe Universal knows what they're doing, but I'm definitely skeptical that all of this won't be a net-negative on my enjoyment of the land once it's finished (given that I'm not an extreme coaster person).

I shall keep my concern from escalating further for the time being!

There’s an emergency exit gate from the outdoor greenhouse queue that leads into JP. That has, and will always be left exposed though.

I've grudgingly grown accustomed to the standard intrusion of the Wizarding World on Jurassic Park! Tracker's video was definitely not what has been the norm, though, so hopefully that old "norm" returns eventually, or at least something close to it.

Sometimes this forum is an endless loop of negativity that feeds itself.

As Scott Walker @Scott W. walked across what he thought was the completed bridge, "Something Terrible Went Wrong".

 

[JoeCamel]

If they are going to the trouble to put walls on it they will open for foot traffic as soon as it is done. I'm pretty sure the decking is not the finished product.
